Our Department of Architecture is rich in creativity, with a faculty active across the industry. Our aim is to become a portal for talent across London driving growth in the knowledge economy and creative industries. Ravensbourne students actively engage with experimental live projects and cross-disciplinary design briefs to create ideas and designs for future urban living fit for the 21st Century.

The role

At Ravensbourne, we are seeking a dynamic and innovative educator on a part-time basis to provide expertise in teaching, learning, and administration, supporting the continuous development of our interiors and architecture courses.

Are you a Senior Lecturer or a Lecturer with extensive experience looking for your next step in a part-time role? Join our team.

Reporting to the Course Leader of the BA (Hons) Interior Architecture and Reuse, you will provide module leadership and work effectively within the Department of Architecture team. You will deliver design studio teaching and technical skills at undergraduate level and support the teaching on postgraduate courses.

Your teaching will be focused on the reinvention and reuse of existing buildings and spaces, underpinned by innovative, sustainable, and ethical approaches, as well as a commitment to working with communities to shape all stages of the design process.

You will set creative agendas focused on spatial practices for current critical debates, whilst enhancing students' communication, representation, and professional skills.

You will also participate in cross-disciplinary activities and knowledge exchange to enhance the collaborative approach at Ravensbourne.

If you have worked in industry and have some academic experience and are keen to progress your career in education, help us shape the future.
